Thought to occupy less than seven percent of their original range, today’s tiger populations are threatened by habitat loss and poaching. Numbers are steadily increasing but there is still much to be done to secure their future. In this class, we will discuss: - Where tigers are found - What kind of tigers they are - What adaptations tigers have - What threats tigers face - What we can do to save them. Learners will be introduced to these zoology topics via an interactive lecture featuring Google Slides, Photos, Videos, and personal stories from my time working directly with tigers in my career.
